Arrowroot Starch–Based Edible Coatings Containing Lemongrass Essential Oil Emulsion for the Postharvest Preservation of Giant Umbu

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Giant umbu is a highly perishable tropical fruit whose rapid ripening limits its distribution and availability, yet postharvest studies for this species remain scarce. To address this gap, the present study evaluated the effectiveness of arrowroot starch–based edible coatings incorporating emulsions containing different concentrations of lemongrass ...

Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Heavy Metal Contamination in Arenillas Ecological Reserve Soils: Correlation and Conservation Impact

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 3454-3471, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the critical knowledge gap regarding heavy metal contamination in the soils of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (AERv), located on the southwest coast of Ecuador. Despite being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in ...

Islanded Islands: Dual Isolation Drive Distinctive and Threatened Floras of Neotropical Maritime Inselbergs

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Questions Inselbergs, isolated rock outcrops, support unique plant communities. Maritime inselbergs (MIs) experience transient isolation due to maritime fluctuations, creating harsh survival conditions. This study is the first to investigate the plant communities' patterns on MIs, comparing them with those on continental inselbergs (CIs).

Pest categorisation of Selenaspidus articulatus

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum unrooted cuttings from Uganda, in which Selenaspidus articulatus (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of S.

Combining satellite and field data reveals Congo's forest types structure, functioning and composition

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 200-220, April 2025.
Using Sentinel‐2 satellite images and recent deep learning architectures, we built a large‐scale vegetation map of the North of Congo and assessed the environmental drivers of the main forest types, their forest structure, their floristic and functional compositions, and their faunistic composition.
